SMARTCLOTH Prototype for Dietary Management in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: Tutorial on Human-Centered Design Methodology for Health Care Hardware Development

This tutorial demonstrates that systematic human-centered design can yield feasible and well-accepted digital health hardware. SMARTCLOTH emerged as a promising tool for dietary management in diabetes, though effectiveness and clinical outcomes were not evaluated. The methodology can be adapted by teams developing hardware for chronic disease management.

Abstract

This tutorial demonstrates that systematic human-centered design can yield feasible and well-accepted digital health hardware. SMARTCLOTH emerged as a promising tool for dietary management in diabetes, though effectiveness and clinical outcomes were not evaluated. The methodology can be adapted by teams developing hardware for chronic disease management.
